Oh and this is bunk, but that’s where government grants are going these days.

I am in awe of the arrogance of this bunch. “Anthropocene?” Man is now that important in the grand scheme of geologic history. And here, they’ve spent decades teaching us that we’re an insignificant little dust speck.

Yes, Mankind has to be worse for the planet than billions of reptiles passing gas, dying by the millions in the open, and crapping all over the place when alive.........

Eventually it will be renamed the “Goreobscene” Epoch.

Twenty years ago we called it the Cocacola-zoic since that will be a major marker for the sedimentary units.

In yer face, all the marine life that died and became chalk! You little guys absorbed all the CO2 there has ever been, but guess what, WE got the geological epoch named after us!
To: forkinsocket
Humans have altered Earth so much that scientists say a new epoch in the planet's geologic history has begun. And I for one am loving it. Lets hear it for the Anthropocene Age.

I can see that agriculture, with its water use patterns, intensive livestock grazing, and promotion of erosion and degradation of the soil, could have a huge impact. We’ll just have to wait a few million years to see.

The evolution guys tell us that 10,000 years is a blink of an eye. Compared to 6 billion (or whatever the current estimate is), this is hubris. Was there ever an epoch so short?

The human race should just commit mass suicide and get it over with.

I call BS and for stripping these people of their accreditation.
The politicizing of science must end.

The most adamant of the ecoterrorists demand just that.

Humans have altered Earth so much that scientists say a new epoch in the planet's geologic history has begun. Either this stuff is emanating from a new cult, or it's from another planet. Maybe both.

Lets hear it for the Anthropocene Age.
When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Anthropocene
age of Anthropocene!
Anthropocene!
Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind's true liberation
Anthropocene!
Anthropocene!
When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Anthropocene
The age of Anthropocene
Anthropocene!
Anthropocene!
